Readiness and Manning: What does the Retirement Points module recognize to capture Lost Time?

• A. Duty Status Changes
• B. Training Completions
• C. Retirement Points Awards
• D. Calendar Updates

Answer: (A)

Lost Time is captured in the Retirement Points system by watching for Duty Status Changes. When a member’s status shifts from a duty status that earns points to a non-duty status (for example, leave, medical, or other non-earning periods), the system records that interval as Lost Time. This approach directly identifies when time isn’t being earned toward retirement points, ensuring the total reflects only the days eligible for points.

Training completions and calendar updates relate to scheduling or earning points in different ways but don’t specifically mark the gaps where points aren’t earned. Retirement Points Awards is the process of applying earned points, not the mechanism for detecting lost time.
